The professionalization of counseling is an ongoing process that is occurring globally. A review of the literature identified counselors, counselor educators, clients, government agencies, accrediting bodies, universities and public opinion as influencers on professionalization. Leaders from three different countries were invited to respond to questions developed from a literature review of professionalization in cross-cultural settings. This article summarizes the lived experiences of best practices, lessons learned, current needs, and outlooks of professionalization in their various countries. The intention was to contribute concrete information from industry leaders to share insights for ongoing standardization efforts in global settings.
